Not seen the other's fixtures, but our run in is tough.
Arsenal will be flying in 4th & scoring for fun, when we meet them with a game to go, & they're still talking about the thrill of beating us last season.

We are also away to Chelsea in mid April, two big games in the last five.
I am very happy we have Palace away ealry on, it will be my first chance to see the class of 15/16

Have no idea why people are complaining. A quick skim looks like as easy as you can ask for in the PL. No big games back 2 back and padding around the chumps league. Bring it on!

They'll have a few missing as well for the same reason.

Fuck me, I can't believe Sky could do that. Just tuned in to see what they made of our Fixtures and, as always, the Sky 4 took precedence.
They start with Rags and their competitors, which turns out to be the Dippers. No problem with that as they'll be playing for the Wenger Trophy or Europa but they then go onto key games which only show the Sky 4 with us not even mentioned.
The only point we got was that we're the only current top 4 team who has an away game to finish the season!
Cunts!

I'm sure some teams were played home and away in fairly short order the season just gone. Leicester sticks in my mind for some reason.
Hmmmm Leicester away. Hmmmm. December wasn't it.

Exactly. Willian and Oscar spring to mind. Falcao. All in all we will be fine.
People like to bitch even just about the fucking fixture release. Fucking pipe and slippers crew extraordinaire. Suppose that's why I'm here. Old grumpy fucks.
Cheers

It's a fucking conspiracy I tell you. Chelsea second. What's the chance of that in a random draw?

In all seriousness that's a decent set of fixtures. We will have it wrapped up in April.

Saw that it was like we didn't even exist. Pathetic.

Fancy that Stoke being top of the league clearly after the first round of games and Brenda taking scouse 2 to a new (lower) level.

Bodgers and his ScouseScum may well suffer a second season syndrome.
Last season was the first real season for the tactical genius to show us his brilliance, following the exit of Spooky Tooth and after his fine showing in that campaign, this next one could start to fall away for him.
They might actually finish in a more appropriate position in the bottom half of the table.

When are the TV companies likely to announce the first round of televised games? Travel up from South Wales so always like to plan ahead and get cheap rail tickets when they are out.
I'm guessing next week / week after when sky and bt make announcement?
